DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS

Refer to FIGS. 2-3, the present invention provides a box for carryingthe liquid crystal display panel 100, which comprises a base 1 and ainner shell 2, the internal surface of the base 1 is matched with theoutside surface of the inner shell 2, the inner shell 2 is assembled inthe base 1 and the liquid crystal display panel 3 is assembled in theinner shell 2, a plurality of hollow holes 10 are opening at the base 1.

The base 1 and the inner shell 2 can be separated to each other. Whenthe inner shell 2 is placed in the base 1, the outer wall of the innershell 2 is stuck to the inner wall of the base 1. The base 1 is providedfor supplying which is made of stiffness material. In the presentinvention, the base is made of metal by welding. Preferably, the base 1is made of stainless steel with a certain strength and inflexibility. Onthe loading the large size liquid crystal display panel process, theload-bearing ability and the resistance to deformation ability can beimproved. The inner shell 2 can be made by plastic molding or foammolding. Preferably, the inner shell 2 is made of Polyethyleneterephthalate plastic (PET) or poly styrene (PS). The shape of the innershell 2 can be altered with the shape of the loading liquid crystaldisplay panel changing. The inner shell 2 is provided for supplying theliquid crystal display panel and avoiding contacting to the base 1,acting the action for buffer protecting the liquid crystal displaypanel.

The base 1 can be selected different structures. Refer to FIGS. 4-6, inthe first embodiment of the present invention, the base 1 is a framestructure which is made of stainless material. The stainless supplyingedges 12 are vertically intersected. The transverse supplying edges arein parallel, and the endwise supplying edges are also in parallel. Thehollow holes 10 are formed by the intersected with the transversesupplying edges and the endwise supplying edges. The hollow holes 10 aresymmetrically opening at the bottom arm and/or the side arm of the base1. The areas of the hollow holes 10 are to be the same to balance thebase 1. The weight of the whole base 1 can be lightened with the hollowholes 10. Refer to FIGS. 6-7, when the inner shell 2 is located in thebase 1, the outer wall of the inner shell 2 is matched with the innerwall of the base 1 to load the liquid crystal display panel. The frametype base is made of metal with a lot of hollow holes, so the materialof the base can be saved.

Refer to FIGS. 7-9, in the second embodiment of the present invention,the base 1 is formed by foam molding. The hollow holes 10 are opening atthe bottom arm and/or the side arm of the base 1. The side arm and thebottom arm of the base are hollow body. The hollow hole 10 is to becuboid shaped, the relation of each side of the hollow hole is2×L×W>2×L×H+2×W×H, Refer to FIGS. 8b-9b , L is the length of the hollowhole, W is the width of the hollow hole, H is the depth of the hollowhole. After blowing into the hollow holes 10, the hollow holes 10 can befilled into the same material. The filled area is S1=2×L×W+2×W×H, andthe hollowing area of the hollow hole 10 is S2=2×L×H, and the filledarea S1 is larger than the hollowing area S2, that is, S2>S1. After thehollowing out process, about 2×L×H of the stainless material can besaved. But each side arm and bottom arm of the base 1 should be remainsealed off. Therefore, if the moderate same material is embedded intothe hollow holes 10, the filled area is less than the initial hollowingarea, then the whole weight of the base 1 can be decreased and theproduce cost can be reduced with the same strength and inflexibility ofthe base 1. At the same time, the bottom arm and the side arm of thebase 1 can be sealed off by filling the hollow holes. With a lot ofhollowing area in the base, the materials can be reduced and the weightcan be lightened. In addition, the closeness performance of the wholebox is good with the sealing off all around.

In the present embodiment, the hollow hole in the side arm of the basecan be acted as a handle for pulling, for the convenient of the pullingand carrying during transporting.

Refer to FIGS. 10-11, for enhancing the buffer performance of the wholebox 100, the box 100 is also addition provided for a buffer gasket 4.Refer to FIG. 10, in the third embodiment of the present invention, thebuffer gasket 4 is placed between the base 1 and the inner shell 2.Refer to FIG. 11, in the forth embodiment, the buffer gasket 4 is placedbetween the inner shell 2 and the liquid crystal display panel 3 forrelieving the concussion of the liquid crystal display panel on theplacing or transporting process. When the buffer gasket 4 is placedbetween the base 1 and the inner shell 2 by adjoining, the area of thebuffer gasket 4 is equal to the area of the bottom area of the innershell 2. Therefore, the shaking of the liquid crystal display panel onthe inner shell 2 can be multilevel buffered with the inner shell 2 andthe buffer gasket 4. That is to say, the buffer gasket 4 can be placedin the inner shell 2, and there is not adjoining layer between thebuffer gasket 4 and the inner shell 2 or the base 1. The buffer gasket 4is only placed between them without adjoining.

Refer to FIG. 11, in the forth embodiment of the present invention, aplurality of side gaskets 5 are located between the inner shell 2 andthe liquid crystal display panel 3 or the inner shell 2 and the base 1.In the present embodiment, there are four side gaskets 5 that separatelystood between the inner shell 2 and the base 1 for relieving thesurround shaking from the inner shell 2 to the base 1 to keep the liquidcrystal display panel 3 more steadily.

Refer to FIG. 5, a plurality of supplying edges 12 are interlaced at thebase 1, the hollow holes 10 at the bottom arm are formed by thesupplying edges 12. The inner shell 2 comprises a plurality of enhancededges 22 and grooves 20, the grooves 20 are limited by the enhancededges 22. The enhanced edges 22 are symmetrical bulged to the grooves 20for improving the strength of the inner shell 2. For further improvingthe strength of the whole box 100, the supply edges 12 of the base 1 areinterlaced to the enhanced edges 22 of the inner shell 2, therefore,with the reciprocal compensation between the supplying edges 12 and theenhanced edges 22, the strength of the whole box would be enhanced toload the large size liquid crystal display panel more suitable.

The box for carrying the liquid crystal display panel of the presentinvention comprises a supplying institution for carrying and loading theliquid crystal display panel 3 with the base 1 and the inner shell 2superposing together. The base 1 and the inner shell 2 are made ofdifferent material respectively. Therein, the base 1 can play a mainsupplying role, which is made of the metal material by welding orblowing. The inner shell 2 can play a limiting or sealing off role,which is formed by plastic molding or foam molding. The base 1 is ahollowing structure, so the material can be greatly reduced and saved.Besides that, the supplying edges on the base 1 is interlaced to theenhanced edges on the inner shell 2 so as to improve the supplyingintensity of the whole box to load the large size liquid crystal displaypanel 3. In addition, the inner shell 2 and the base 1 can also beformed by plastic molding. As a result, the requirement for the mouldcan be greatly reduced and the material can be saved to cut down theproducing cost.
